Raspberries

My husband tells me he hates this dress. But I lurve it. At least the color. It does get kinda wrinkly at the end of the day, as seen here. I really should have done a morning picture before the rain made my hair explode.

ok. color: great. you look good in jewel tones. let's remember this for future shopping.

also, awesome bust-line. the button down collar shirt with a tailored waist rocks on you. nice necklace to double up on those assets. (what does hubby think? i assume you are only dressing for him and you?)

however: this dress cuts you off at all the wrong angles. why does it stop at mid-tricep? Who? Who? Who? wants to show off the mid-tricep???? Then, we've got just above the knee. Just above the knee is great if the skirt doesn't have too much going on. But this one has a belt and buttons and wrinkles... maybe try something a bit more simple, more jcrew-ish with some slc attitude...?

what if we turned this dress into a sleeveless collared shirt with a tailored waist? finish it off with a pencil skirt that hits just above the knee?
